Objective
To study risk factors for HIV infection among women in Nairobi, Kenya, as the epidemic moves beyond high-risk groups.
Design
A cross-sectional case-control study among women attending two peri-urban family planning clinics.
Methods
A total of 4404 women were enrolled after giving written informed consent.
Information on risk factors was obtained by interview using a structured questionnaire.
Blood was taken for HIV and syphilis testing, and genital specimens for gonorrhea and trichomoniasis screening.
Results
Two hundred and sixteen women (4.9%; 95% confidence interval, 4.3-5.5) were HIV-1 -positive.
Although risk of HIV was significantly increased among unmarried women and among women with multiple sex partners, most seropositive women were married and reported only a single sex partner in the last year.
